Fallfest '96 set for Sept. 21; Better Than Ezra is headliner

Elektra artists Better Than Ezra will headline Fallfest, '96, to take place Saturday, Sept. 21 from 2-11 p.m. The event, presented by the Student Association and UUAB, will be held outdoors at Baird Point on the UB North Campus, and will be free to everyone. In case of bad weather, it will be indoors at Alumni Arena, free to UB students with an ID and $10 for the general public.

Better Than Ezra, whose newest CD and major label debut, friction, baby was released in August, will top the show. The band had two hits in 1995, Good and In the Blood, from their independently released CD, Deluxe.

Salsa musician Tito Nieves, who will bring his Latin rhythms to this year's Fallfest, has traveled throughout North and Central America. His fifth album, Un Tipo Comun, was released in 1995.

Bounty Killer, a reggae artist with intense lyrical content and a fast freestyle delivery, will also appear at Fallfest. A strong addition to the show, Bounty Killer has several albums released in Jamaica, the U.S. and England.

Adding a hip hop vibe will be Boot Camp Clik, featuring Heltah Skeltah, O.G.C. and Smif 'N' Wessun. Heltah Skeltah's debut album, Nocturnal, has just been released, and Smif 'N' Wessun's debut album, Da Shinin, has sold over 300,000 copies. O.G.C., a group of intense rappers, round out the Clik. Also taking the stage will be Sony recording artists Satchel. Satchel, from Seattle, has just released their debut album, The Family.
